Holly is a symbol of goodwill and joy. In the Victorian language of flowers, holly means foresight. Holly is seen as a symbol of good luck in both Christianity and Islam. But most importantly for me, it is said that disputes are often solved "under the holly tree"

Podcast Interview With Dr. Jamal Zahalka, Calling for Israel to Become a TRUE Democracy

The following is an EXCELLENT interview with Dr. Jamal Zahalka who took over as chairman of the Balad Party after Azmi Bishara's resignation in April.

I urge everyone reading here to listen to the podcast which is found here

This podcast explains in detail, the efforts of the Balad Party to transform Israel into a TRUE democracy of all it's people, NOT one which favors only one group of people to the DETRIMENT of the Palestinians within Israel. In this interview, Dr. Zahalka puts the Bishara affair in context of the Israeli government's efforts to maintain an exclusivist state.
